Elegoo OrangeStorm Giga - Large Format Filament 3D Printer

Elegoo OrangeStorm Giga: Large Format Filament 3D Printer


The OrangeStorm Giga is Elegoo’s latest large-format 3D printer. It promises a massive build volume, fast print speeds, multiple extruders, and more at a pre-order price of $2,499. Breaking away from the typical Solar System-themed names of the Elegoo product lines (Jupiter, Neptune, Mars, etc.), the OrangeStorm Giga stands apart both in naming convention and overall size.

Test at Tradeshow

We had a chance to witness Elegoo OrangeStorm Giga in action at the 3D printing tradeshow Formnext. The Elegoo team were confident enough to keep the print going for the whole day and here is the result.

– Nozzle Sizes. The upgraded nozzle of the printer features a 300℃ high-temperature capability with a double-gear extrusion structure made from full titanium alloy and a chrome zirconium copper nozzle, complemented by a 60W ceramic heating pad for more consistent and precise extrusion. Such a nozzle is incompatible with those on the previous Neptune 4 series, including Plus and Max.

Nozzle Diameter(included): 0.6mm
Nozzle Diameter(optional): 0.4mm/ 0.8mm/ 1mm

Large Build Volume

The Elegoo OrangeStorm Giga features a build volume of 800mm x 800mm x 1000mm (31.5” x 31.5” x 39.4”), significantly larger than other FDM 3D printers offered by Elegoo. The OrangeStorm Giga is equipped with drag chain cable carriers on the X and Z axes, which prevent cables from fraying while printing and extending across a large range of motion.

Multiple Extruder Configuration

The OrangeStorm Giga can be equipped with up to four independent extruder assemblies for printing multiple colors or materials. The extruder modules are equipped with a 300℃ high-temperature nozzle, a 60W ceramic heating pad, and a dual-gear extruder combined with a built-in acceleration sensor for consistent printing at high speeds. The OrangeStorm Giga is advertised as having a top speed of 300mm/s, with a more conservative recommended speed of 150mm/s.

Other Features

The OrangeStorm Giga has all of the features that you would expect in a higher-end consumer FDM 3D printer, including filament detection, a large 7-inch LCD touchscreen, power loss recovery, and silent stepper drivers. The OrangeStorm Giga uses a silent TMC2209 stepper driver on the X and E-axes, a TMC5160 on the Y-axis, and a pair of 35774 drivers for the Z-axis.


An interesting feature of the OrangeStorm Giga is the heated build platform, which is composed of four independently heated removable magnetic PEI platforms. These four platforms are advertised as being able to be heated simultaneously to 90°C in 17 minutes. The four platforms can be manually or automatically controlled, with the printer being capable of heating only the platforms on which the model is being built to reduce energy consumption and increase efficiency.

Campaign

The OrangeStorm Giga was launched on Kickstarter on November 4th, and the campaign quickly became successful.

2,005 backers pledged $3,386,996 to help bring this project to life.

A year later, while most of the pledges were fulfilled, it is a good idea to check the Kickstarter Campaigns comment section to do pre-purchasing research. There is a lot of information that can give a clue about how to operate such a big 3D printer successfully. 

Disclaimer: As with all crowdfunding campaigns, it’s important to note that a pledge is not a purchase or a pre-order, and there is no guarantee that the machine will be produced or shipped. Elegoo is an established company that has successfully completed and fulfilled crowdfunding campaigns in the past, but it’s important to be aware of the risks when making a pledge.
